NAIROBI: Parents and students were yesterday uncertain over the reopening of schools for third term today, with the crisis over teachers’ pay yet to be resolved.

A spot check by The Standard in various supermarkets around Nairobi revealed students doing their back-to-school shopping as they awaited word from their head teachers on whether their holiday would be extended.
